Breaking news… MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli spoke at his party’s group meeting. MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli said, “Zengezur line is the Turan corridor. The Turan corridor should be opened, it is very important for the strategic position of the Turkish world…” Regarding the ‘early election’ discussions, Bahçeli said, “The important thing is that the election is held on time. Our president is in office and we are behind him.” he said.

Highlights from Bahçeli’s statements are as follows:

The policy followed by the Israeli administration after October 7 has tested the patience. Israel has turned into a machine of death and revenge politics. The Netanyahu administration is a crisis production mechanism that threatens the peace of the region.

“IT IS A DECLARATION OF NETANYAHU’S IMPAIRMENT, HURRY AND EXHAUST”

Netanyahu’s political serendipity is clearly evident. He lives in the shadow of the corruption files in which he is the leading actor, the deepening crisis of legitimacy in domestic politics, the lust for power that divides Israeli society into pieces, and the heavy processes in international judicial authorities that he ignites.

The targeting of our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, by this evil mentality, which ties its political life to a bloody security narrative, fuels the fire to maintain its seat, and tries to cover up the atrocities it has created in the Middle East with a curtain of slander and propaganda, is a declaration of Netanyahu’s impotence, haste and exhaustion.

While the lifeless bodies of children are being buried in Gaza, the dignity of Palestinian prisoners is violated, land grabs continue in the West Bank, and the historical and cultural fabric in Lebanon is destroyed by bombs, trying to give moral lessons to Türkiye and wagging the finger at our President is a flag of surrender by the headquarters of the mind.

“UNITED NATIONS ARE PLAYING THREE MONKEYS”

One of the institutions that should be questioned in the face of this sad situation the world is in is the United Nations. While humanity is groaning in Gaza and suffering and massacre are rampant in our region, the United Nations is playing the three monkeys.

HORmuz MESSAGE

The Strait of Hormuz is not just any waterway. Hormuz is a strategic gateway to the pulse of energy supply, global trade, maritime security, food prices and regional stability. The tension on this line has dragged not only the Gulf but also a wide geography from Asia to Europe, from Africa to the Mediterranean, into economic and political turbulence.

“THE TURKISH NATION IS AGAINST THE ENEMIES OF PEACE”

Although we find the agreement reached between the United States and Iran in the midst of such a dark and complex picture pleasing, we follow it carefully. This development is pleasing, but our satisfaction will not lead us to complacency. Opening the door to diplomacy will not mean closing the door to measures.

The Turkish nation is against the enemies of peace.

Zangezur line is the Turan corridor. The Turan corridor should be opened, it is very important for the strategic position of the Turkish world…

ATTENTION-CATCHING ‘ELECTION’ MESSAGE

The important thing is that the election is made on time. Our President is in office and we stand behind him.

REGULATIONS RELATED TO CHILDREN ARE ON THE AGENDA:

Minister Gürlek stated that only some evaluations and suggestions regarding children dragged into crime were forwarded to the Turkish Grand National Assembly and said, “We have some suggestions regarding the execution of children’s sentences. The report of the commission established on this issue is awaited.” he said.

THE ASSEMBLY IS CARRYING OUT THE TERRORIST-FREE Türkiye PROCESS:

Minister Gürlek also clarified the “Terror-Free Türkiye” process within the 12th Judicial Package. Emphasizing that the studies on the Terrorism-Free Turkey process and the judicial package are carried out independently of each other, Gürlek said, “The Parliament carries out the Terrorism-Free Turkey process. An intensive preparation process continues in the Parliament to finalize the 12th Judicial Package. These studies are progressing independently of each other. Very important studies are being carried out to solve the different problems of our country.” he said.

THE REPORT IS NOT BINDING:

Regarding the European Parliament rapporteur’s evaluations about him, Gürlek stated that the report in question was not binding. Stating that they continue to fulfill their duties within the framework of the law, Gürlek said, “We have done our duty and we continue to do it. In fact, that person’s ideological approach is different. His contacts with marginal organizations are also known. The report prepared is also a recommendation.” made his assessment.
